I have two Oscars. They both eat well, but the one likes to atack the tank. It swims tward the glass with his mouth open. It does it all the time and the other one don't. Why is that?
I have two oscar\\\\\\\'s. One Tiger one elbino. I have had them one yrar. They are in a 75gal. tank. Never really had any problems with them. The Tiger (Marley) likes to attack the side of the tank with his mouth open. I have no clue why? The Elbino just like to eat all the food and swime around.Marley is alittle calmier when it comes to eating. I really like both of them, great fish!

It will because it can see itself in the glass. You may notice them do this to each other too at times. You will get the same effect by putting a mirror close to the tank. Don'T leave it in place to long as it may stress them. It could be a sign of aggression or attraction ??
Be the change that you want to see in the world.

sulking is a common behavioral pattern for an oscar.
sometimes, they sulk and attack the glass wall, filter
pump, heater, and other fish. but it doesn't mean that
oscar is becoming aggressive by doing that.

I shouldn't worry, if I had a £ for every time I've seen this question on an Oscar Forum I would be very rich. At some stage, all Oscars seem to go a little mad, mouth wide open, flared gills and attacking the side of the tank.

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved
